Hayden Skipworth: Key Candidate for West Coast Eagles

West Coast is on the brink of appointing a new coach, and Hayden Skipworth, currently an assistant at Collingwood, is the prime candidate. He has garnered attention from the Eagles coaching selection panel due to his emphasis on player development and establishing a modern game plan.

Skipworth's Coaching Background

  • Joined Collingwood's coaching staff in 2020
  • Instrumental in the Pies' 2023 premiership success under Craig McRae
  • Led Collingwood's talent academy before his current role
  • Experience with Essendon coaching staff and as a VFL team leader

As a player, Skipworth participated in 55 AFL games for the Adelaide Crows and Essendon. With Andrew McQualter and Stephen King also in contention, Skipworth's extensive experience positions him as the frontrunner. It's been 70 days since the Eagles separated from Adam Simpson, and the opportunity for Skipworth to lead might be on the horizon.
